According to a Facebook post, NBA Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo was among those at the Brussels Airport Tuesday morning when two explosions ripped through the departures terminal, killing dozens. Mutombo was unharmed in the attacks.

The former Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks center took to Facebook to notify fans and loved ones that he was "fine," and that "God is good."

Mutombo, who is orignally from Congo, averaged 9.8 points 10.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks over a 19-year career in the NBA. He ranks second all time in NBA history in blocked shots. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015.
